@jj72 are you sure? drop bars are more joint-friendly, as they place the wrists in a neutral position.
eg.: that's why I love dumbbells instead of barbells.. or pullups with neutral grip.
drop bars are more suited for the natural human anatomy.. imho. And I always ache and has pain-wrist problems whenever I'm trying to ride trekking-mtb bars.. I can get away with classic straight xc bars if I grip them narrow (cc. 38-40cm) but anything straight and wide makes my cry.
